WashPost pushes back on “outrageous” raid of our colleague’s home. Trump’s DOJ is “processing” reporter’s laptop but claims it hasn’t read files. WP demands info returned. “Anything less would license…newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Questions about politicization of the DOJ and abandonment of the rule of law have only intensified in the first days of 2026. Very much looking forward to this discussion tomorrow night with @raskin.house.gov and @carolleonnig.bsky.social. Come join us at Wonderland Books.
Thank you to all who have purchased a copy and helped keep alive an accurate history of that dark day. Understanding what happened then – and since then - inside the Justice Department will be crucial for America and the rule of the law going forward.
In fact, it’s the only printed account of that day told entirely from within the FBI and Justice Department, including many facts that Americans probably still do not know.
Five years ago right now, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was underway. For all the attempts to rewrite the history of Jan. 6, @carolleonnig.bsky.social and I recorded the day in black-and-white in our book, Injustice. shorturl.at/c1FPP
It’s been an amazing week, humbling for the things said about our book, and heartening to see so many Americans engaged in discussion about the state of the Justice Department and our democracy. Looking forward to our conversation tonight in Boston with Heather Cox Richardson.

The FBI manhunt for the J6 pipe bomber secretly led to the arrest and conviction of a bombmaker — he just turned out to be the wrong one. This and so many other new details about the 5-year-old mystery from our new book, Injustice. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Just finished Injustice, the new book by multiple Pulitzer Prize winning journalists @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Aaron Davis. So well done! And so much new information, depicting both the best and worst of the Department of Justice under Trump 1 and Biden administrations. Worth reading for sure.
Come join @carolleonnig.bsky.social and me for the first discussion about our new book, ‘Injustice.” We’ll be talking with Mary Louise Kelly at @politicsprose.bsky.social tomorrow night!
Thank you to @democracynow.org and Amy Goodman for the engaging discussion on our new book ‘Injustice’ (including how DOJ’s long secret investigation into whether Egypt gave $10M to Trump was left to wither). m.youtube.com/watch?v=aWzV...

“The disturbing takeaway of INJUSTICE is that, at the Justice Department, political independence has been replaced by abject servility to Trump." @nytimes.com reviews the new book from @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @byaaroncdavis.bsky.social.

“If it was anybody else, we would arrest him tomorrow.”
Trump said on 60 Minutes that Biden’s DOJ wanted to keep him from winning back the White House. Our new book tells the real story: agents felt compelled by what they found hidden w/ @carolleonnig.bsky.social

Smith’s team first miscalculated the odds of getting Judge Cannon. But he was set on taking the high (some would say hard) road to prosecute Trump.

NEW: In 2023 memo, L.A. fire chief warned of “significant” gap in city’s wildfire defense. It lacked a professional crew to set and maintain fire lines. WashPost probe found the unit was delayed by bureaucracy and budget pressures, and still not staffed.
